The purpose of the fall family camping trip is to bring the Pack together and start the year on a high note! We will run a great program on Saturday Sept. 20th, with the focal point being our Raingutter Regatta race. We also want to make sure new families and Scouts have a chance to connect and get to know each other while enjoying time in the great outdoors. Optional family camping is available for the weekend at no cost.
All details for the event will be shared through TeamSnap.
The Raingutter Regatta is a great opportunity for your Scout to practice using their craftsman skills, display their creativity, enjoy friendly competition and practice good sportsmanship. All boats will be due upon arrival at Finnon so that racing brackets can be formed. Siblings are welcome to build a boat and participate for $7 (boat kit cost). The sooner you RSVP the more time your Scout has to build their boat!
